Thunderbird Shadow jet from "Thunderbirds are Go!" in 1:72 from Takara

In the pipeline and rather exotic, but a Shoji Kawamori design (the creator of the Macross Valkyries and many other neat mecha, like the Patlabor stuff) should not be overlooked:

I hope they do the rest of them, I think the new show is rather popular and it would be great to get fans into kit building.

1/72 Thunderbird 2 would be impressive.

With the "real" article about 75m long, this would be some model!! :lol:Now, how about a 1/72 Zero-X? Hate the new series though.Could not take the "new" Tracy brothers seriously. Actually laughed out loud when I saw them all ripped and pipped. I thought I was looking at some silly teen boy band!! Only thing missing was the codpieces!!

How come I'd never heard of Thunderbird Shadow jet? Great looking design! Looks compact enough to park in my very short driveway too

Kit due out next March. I've pre ordered two!! . Reasonable sized model. The "real" thing would be large. Might try & combine it with parts from the Hasegawa Ace Combat Shinden

That's because they are based on some silly teen boy band!
